Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group is said to be among 12 companies which have signed non-disclosure agreements over the prospective acquisition of GE Capital Sponsor Finance.

According to peHub, which first reported the news, other companies that have signed NDAs include Apollo Management and Ares Management.

Other potential buyers are said to be Blackstone Group LP, Wells Fargo & Co, and American fleet management company Element.

GE Capital Sponsor Finance is expected to sell within 90 days.

In April, General Electric announced it was selling its global fleet management and leasing businesses because it was becoming increasingly difficult to generate a profit.

GE announced it's Fleet Services was for sale in back in April. (In the US, they are the largest fleet financer for Rental Car Companies. For Mitsu, the possibilities of controlling US Fleet Financing are pretty obvious.)

Interestingly, GE has been lobbying to have its GE Capital operations named as a "Systemically Important Financial Institution", meaning "Too Big To Fail".

GE Cap might be in a lot more trouble than we realize....

GE Capital is the only company to have ever earned a corporate wide prohibition on doing business with the Fortune 500 company for which I work.

Though not well-known in the USA, Mitsubishi UFJ is a HUGE financial services firm in eastern Asia--in fact, between them and Mizuho Bank, they have much of the retail bank business in Japan.

“O” is watching that guy’s lips move so he can pretend that he actually GETS what the guy is talking about....

Idiots DO that... to look ‘smart’.

It's actually a little more interesting than that:
The General Electric Corporation is now running ads (heard on WABC Radio) bragging about how they're building a comprehensive, global database of individual medical records ("for every person on the planet"). We recall wondering what sort "stimulus" would be in the cards for giant GE when we saw pictures of its CEO Jeffrey Immelt hanging out with President Obama last year.
